4.  We raise up our efforts in sharing the Gospel, especially: … the “Mission of the Month” for August – St. Luke’s Lutheran Church in KCK – as we share with our sister-congregation in their innovative ways of ministering to their neighborhood: the urban poor of the urban core (donations to date total $210); … our School Ministry, as we enter our 155th school year, which begins Tuesday; … our newly-appointed Principal Call Committee – Randall Hoppe, Del Housworth, Darl Summers, Monica Collins & Lori Humble – as they lead us toward calling our next LCMS-Commissioned Minister to serve as Principal. Let’s “cultivate awesome relationships for eternity” by “personalizing a Christ-centered education.”

5.  We pray for our Nation: seeking special blessing over those in our Armed Forces – for those arriving for CGSC/SAMS; and for those deployed or at distant posts, and their families: John Crowley (Afghanistan); & Zachary Kincaid(Kuwait).  God Bless America!
